“The safety ­of multi-ply
roofing systems...with
ENERGY STAR® Savings! ”
“Now, Get The Safety Of RUBEROID® MB
And GAFGLAS® BUR Multi-ply Roofing
Systems With ENERGY STAR® Savings”
Think Green...
Save Energy
Energy costs are
skyrocketing...
and demand is at an all-time
high. Wasting energy is not just
irresponsible— it’s bad business!
Until now, property owners who
wanted an energy-saving roof were
limited to:
• Installing a single-ply (TPO or
PVC) roof or...
• Adding a roof coating to their
asphaltic system, often at
considerable additional­expense.
But now, there’s
­EnergyCap™
brilliant white
cap sheets!
They combine the proven
performance of GAF’s commercial
asphaltic cap sheets with a factoryapplied layer of TOPCOAT®
EnergyCote™ roof coating—in a
single roof membrane.
Multi-ply systems using
EnergyCap™ cap sheets are
the safer solution for meeting
ENERGY STAR® or Title 24
requirements—and are less
expensive to install than other
“white” roofing options.
EnergyCap™ “brilliant white” ­cap sheets
have nearly 3 times the ­reflectivity of
standard “white” cap sheets!

systems include insulation, 2 plies of GAFGLAS® Ply 4­­
ply sheets, and cap sheet (as compared to same systems
with Topcoat® MB Plus coating applied post-membrane
application). TPO mechanically-attached insulated systems
were compared to EnergyCap™ BUR.

EnergyCap™ brilliant-white cap sheets exceed
the minimum reflectivity requirements for
ENERGY STAR®—as well as the reflectivity
and emissivity of Title 24—to save you money
(visit www.gaf.com and calculate how much
you can save!).
* Energy savings estimates are based on energy and fuel cost data provided by ORNL
web site at the time of print and does not take into consideration energy cost fluctuations
over time. Assumptions used in the savings calculations include: R-value of 19.0;
infrared emittance of 84%; COP of 2; solar reflectance of 80%; average heating system
efficiency. The results are examples—type of building, geographical locations, your exact
energy/fuel costs as well as other factors must be considered for your specific situation.

An Important Note about LEED and Emissivity Values...
Different test methods may yield different value results. In accordance with
LEED® required testing methods, EnergyCap™ 30 FR and Torch Granule Plus
FR achieved an emissivity value of .90 when tested to ASTM E408. The above
results were reported to CRRC and were tested in accordance with ASTM
C1549. The emittance and reflectance values published are those required for
Title 24 compliance.
